Through essays that delve into history and practice, and case studies that demonstrate practical strategies, Design Against Racism explores how designers of all disciplines can address, through their work, the legacies of racism and oppression. 
      
    Design profoundly influences culture.

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    Everything you do and think is controlled by others. Everything you buy. Your work. Your beliefs. Everything is part of a false reality created to control. 
     
    Humanity has no idea it is in fact caught in a massive lie. It is trapped by it’s own inner desires and follows the will of those in power. 
     
    Society is a mirror of man and society is a lie that is far removed from our natural origins. Every country on this planet is being oppressed by clever and powerful elite groups that have been building their empires for centuries. 
     
    They feed us lies and we believe. Eventually we become so deluded we can no longer even see it. 
     
    But there are some who can still see clearly and understand that we live in the ultimate Grand Delusion.
